Judges 9:17

9:17 my father fought for you; he risked his life ¹  and delivered you from Midian’s power. ² 

Judges 10:13

10:13 But since you abandoned me and worshiped ³  other gods, I will not deliver you again.

[9:17]  ¹ tc Heb “threw his life out in front,” that is, “exposed himself to danger.” The MT form מִנֶּגֶד (minneged, “from before”) should probably be read as מִנֶּגְדּוֹ (minnegdo, “from before him”); haplography of vav has likely occurred here in the MT.

[9:17]  ² tn Heb “hand.”

[10:13]  ³ tn Or “served”; or “followed.”
